Protein attributes

Sequence length	184 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	May play a role in apoptosis. Isoform 1 seems to be the main initiator.
Subunit structure	Interacts with MCL1, BCL2, BCL2L1/BCL-Xl, BCL2A1 and BCL2L2/BCL-w. Interacts with the myosin V actin motor complex through its binding to DLC2 By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Isoform 1 is mainly expressed in B-lymphoid cells while isoform 2 and isoform 3 are mainly expressed in B-CLL and normal B-cells. Ref.2
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]

Isoform 1 (identifier: Q96LC9-1)

Also known as: BMF-I;

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.

Isoform 2 (identifier: Q96LC9-2)

Also known as: BMF-II;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     131-151: Missing.

Isoform 3 (identifier: Q96LC9-3)

Also known as: BMF-III;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     98-129: GNAGYRLPLPASFPAVLPIGEQPPEGQWQHQA → APAEPKSCVVADPPLPAQPCFEWRREQERGRP
     130-184: Missing.
